Hi, 
Up until now, gRPC for windows doesn't allow two processes to communicate 
(IPC) over AF_UNIX sockets , even though AF_UNIX is being supported in 
Windows for few years. When I searched your git issues I noticed issue 
#22285 on which I found the following comment:

" There are a number of reasons, and I am most familiar with the challenge 
that AF_UNIX would need to be treated differently with respect to security 
concerns on Windows vs Posix. Unix sockets are currently considered 
"trusted" within gRPC 
  " 
When inspecting the I/O manager and TCP server/listener I couldn't find any 
indication why Posix AF_UNIX are considered trusted while Windows AF_UNIX 
are not. 
Any relevant information would be very useful.
  
I would be happy to contribute to the project and  adding Windows AF_UNIX 
support.

Thank you
